PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION Please carefully read this owner’s handbook before using the powerchair. Improper use of the powerchair could result injury, damage or traffic incidents. This handbook includes a copy of the service record and warranty information. Please keep it in a safe place or with the powerchair. If someone else uses the powerchair, provide them with this handbook for their information. As designs change some illustrations and pictures herein may not correspond to the powerchair purchased. We reserve the right to make design modifications. • Use extreme caution when driving your powerchair in busy areas such as shopping malls. • Do not drive the powerchair under the influence drink or drugs, or when you are tired. • Be careful when using the powerchair in low light. It has not been designed for use at night. • Before using the powerchair in busy or hazardous environments, familiarise yourself with the operation of the powerchair. Practice in an open and safe area which is free from hazards and other people. Use a low speed for your initial practice. Always remain in seat whilst using the powerchair. Do not stand on the footplate. The Drive range of powered wheelchairs have been designed and manufactured to provide a comfortable and secure yet affordable solution for some mobility requirements. All Drive powerchairs have a fixed base (not folding) with a separate seat. There a number of mid-wheel and rear-wheel drive configurations available. Whilst Driving • Do not use your powerchair on surfaces that are muddy, gravelly, bumpy, narrow, snowed over, icy; or on towpaths near to canals which are not guarded. • Do not use your powerchair outside when it is raining, snowing, misty or windy. The models in the Drive powerchair range are: • Sunfire General rear wheel drive powerchair • Sunfire Plus GT RWD powerchair • Sunfire EC RWD powerchair • Image EC mid wheel powerchair • Image GT mid wheel powerchair • Geo Indoor RWD powerchair • Do not make erratic turnings on your powerchair. • Bear in mind driving motions such as accelerating, stopping, turning, reversing, and the effect of gradients. Your Drive powerchair is CE marked by Drive Medical, who are an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified medical device manufacturer. • Slow down when driving on gradients. Always lean forward when climbing a steep gradient. Do not travel on gradients exceeding those stated in the specification. Most access ramps are 5º which is a suitable incline for all Drive powerchairs. 2. SAFETY Before Driving • The user needs to be familiar with the use and operation of this powerchair before driving. • Ride on the pavement and pedestrian areas only. Never ride on motorways or dual carriageways. Only use roads to cross to other side of the pavement. • Be aware of traffic when crossing or using roads. Drive Powerchair Range Page 2 Z20945 (Rev C) When climbing an incline, try to keep your powerchair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your powerchair starts to move faster than you anticipated or desired, allow the chair to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Push the joystick slightly forward and continue travelling slowly down the incline. When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Always drive your Drive straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Above: Located by freewheel levers on rear WARNING: EMI REFER TO OPERATORS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION • Do not drive on roads with large drops or potholes. • The powerchair is not suitable for carrying passengers. Above: Located on rear • Do not use the powerchair to carry heavy goods. • Do not use a mobile phone or other wireless communication devices whilst driving. Always stop somewhere suitable and switch off the powerchair before using the phone. Electromagnetic Interference • Powerchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as mobile phones, walkie-talkies, TV and radio broadcast stations and amateur radio sets. In some cases, there is a risk this interference may cause involuntary movement of the powerchair. The powerchair has been tested and passed to withstand interference to a level of 20V per metre. • Do not set in freewheel mode when driving, especially on a gradient. Ensure that the powerchair’s automatic brakes are applied before use. • Do not exceed the weight limit of the powerchair. • Be aware that the above sources may cause involuntary movement due to EMI. Exercise caution whilst using the aforementioned devices and avoid close proximity to TV and Radio broadcast stations. Labelling • Please carefully read all labels applied to the powerchair before driving. For future reference, do not remove them from the powerchair. The labels are also shown here: • The addition of components or accessories may effect the EMI susceptibility of the powerchair. Do not fit accessories other than Drive Medical authorised accessories.

This allows you to disengage the drive motors and electromagnetic brakes so you can manoeuvre the powerchair manually. To engage the powerchair in DRIVE mode: Drive Powerchair Range Page 8 Z20945 (Rev C) 5. BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE To Charge the Powerchair 1. 2. For Off-board chargers (UK). Plug the round Plug the charger’s power cord in to the mains. 3. connector on the charger in to the socket on the front of the joystick controller For On-board chargers (USA). Plug the mains lead in to the socket on the scooter body. Switch on the plug socket at the mains. Charger Light • The charger light will illuminate orange to indicate the batteries are charging. The charging duration is about 8 hours, however a 12 hour charge is recommended for optimum performance. The orange light will turn green when charging is 95% complete. Ensure that the charger is removed from the mains and the powerchair after charging. Failure to do this may flatten the battery. Suggestions 1. Do not disconnect the charger cord until charging is completed and the light is lit Green. 2. When fully charged the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery for optimum range. 3. Even when not in use, the powerchair should be charged at least every week to ensure battery longevity. 4. Ambient temperature will effect charging time. Charging time will be longer in cold environments. 5. The batteries carry a 1 year warranty which covers manufacturing defects only. It does not cover battery faults as result of not following the guidelines herein. Drive Powerchair Range Page 9 Warning 1. Only use the charger supplied with the powerchair. Using the wrong type of charger may cause damage. Never disassemble or modify the powerchair. 2. Always charge the powerchair in a well ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight or contact with water and moisture. 3. Do Not charge or operate the powerchair in temperatures below 10ºC or above 50ºC. Do not expose the battery pack to these temperatures. About the Batteries • The batteries require charging every week to ensure battery longevity. • The batteries supplied by Drive Medical are classified as safe for air transport under IATA special provision A67. Battery Care 1. You should recharge the batteries after each time the powerchair is used to ensure maximum battery range. The batteries should be charged at least once a week even if the powerchair is not used. 2. After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the powerchair for a short period to ensure battery capacity is sufficient. 3. In cold environments, the battery may respond more slowly and range will be reduced. 4. When driving on a gradient, the battery gauge will fluctuate. This is a normal occurrence. 5. Battery range is reduced when driving up gradients or on rough terrain, as the powerchair uses more power. 6. The batteries should not be charged for more than 24 hours. Battery Replacement It is natural for the battery capacity to reduce with time, even if the battery is charged as directed above. When the battery range is about half of its peak performance we recommend that the batteries are changed. Continuing to use an old battery will result in a rapid reduction in the range of the powerchair and can cause excessive wear and tear on other parts of the powerchair. Z20945 (Rev C) 6. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE a. Weekly Checking Check the following items weekly or before driving. If you find anything abnormal contact your Drive Medical Dealer for further inspection or advice. • Arms. Check they are secure and flip up easily d. Cleaning • The powerchair should be cleaned periodically, especially if you tend to drive on sand, gravel or other adverse environments. • Use a soft, wrung dry cloth to keep your powerchair clean and dust free. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the powerchair. • Seat and Back. Check for rips or sagging. Ensure seat positively locks in position and swivels freely. • Motor. Check for any abnormal noise and electromagnetic brakes work correctly. Warning • Do not use a hose pipe or splash water directly on to the powerchair. • Do not use petrol, solvents or vaporising solutions as these many damage body panels. Do not use wax • Ensure the charger is unplugged and the powerchair switched off before cleaning the powerchair. • Freewheel Lever. Ensure they works correctly. • Horn. Check the horn sounds when button pressed. • Tyres. Check tyre tread depth and for any signs of damage such as cracking. • Front (Castor) Wheels. Check they swivel easily, and there is no vibration when going forward. b. Service Record To ensure your powerchair is correctly serviced take it to your Drive Medical dealer for regular service. We recommend that powerchairs are serviced at least annually, and your dealer may charge a fee for this. A copy of the service record is at the back of this handbook. Even if the powerchair has not been used, it should still be serviced annually. c. • Batteries and Tyres For information on the batteries, please read section 5 on Battery Charging and Care. • Tyre condition will be affected by how you drive the powerchair and what terrain it is driven on. • Some models come with solid tyres which are puncture free, so there is no need to check tyre pressure. • On models with pneumatic tyres, check tyre pressure regularly. The maximum tyre pressure is stated on the side wall of the tyre. Drive Powerchair Range Page 10 e. Storage • Ensure the powerchair is stored with the seat set in the forward position, the powerchair switched off and charger disconnected. Ideally the joystick controller should also be unplugged to prevent battery drain. Store the powerchair in environments which are free from direct sunlight and water or moisture. f. Moving About 1. Switch off the powerchair and dismount from the powerchair. 2. Lift the powerchair by the chassis only. 3. For your safety ask for help if required. You will need two or more people when moving or lifting the powerchair as a whole. Never lift the powerchair by the bumpers or body panels, as this can cause injury or damage.
